Synopsis

When Texas ranch owner Ellen inherits the estate of her long-lost uncle, the Duke of Wilshire, her unscrupulous attorney, Wesley Saunders, who has been plotting to seize control of her ranch, decides to capitalize on the opportunity. Confiscating Ellen's identification papers, Saunders journeys to England, accompanied by a chorus girl who is impersonating Ellen. When Ellen appears at the estate, her British relatives are appalled by her rough-and-tumble manners, and with the subsequent arrival of Saunders and his protégé, Ellen is treated as an impostor. Now stranded, Ellen is forced to sell Saunders an option on her ranch in return for a ticket back to Texas. Lady Harriet and Sir Gerald, two of her English relatives, discover Saunders' treachery and follow Ellen back West. Thus, Ellen is finally accorded her ranch and her British estate, and she happily marries her foreman, Slim Higgins.
